Introduction: The purpose of this lab is to use titration and to use precise measurements of two reactants until the exact point to which the mole ratio of the two reactants is reached. This will be done by using three bases, and one of which is an indicator. The chemical equation for the reaction is: H 2 C 2 O 4 + 2NaOH -> Na 2 C 2 O 4 + 2H 2 O. Procedure: The buret is the instrument that is used for titration and before using it must be prepared first. First and foremost like in every experiment it must be cleaned with detergent and then rinsed with distilled water. Then set up the stand and clamp the buret on to it. Now fill the buret with oxalic acid with a funnel. For this experiment .4-.5g of oxalic acid is needed so to get this amount a balance is needed to measure the mass. Use a small plastic dish and place it on the balance and then zero the balance with the dish on it. Next procedure to slowly add oxalic acid onto
